Expert Posts: 2244 Location: Yorba Linda, Ca | So the car was originally a 361 Ron? (IE, not a D 500), No power seats, or swingout, or power windows? Personally, I like the car better, as it is now, as I do mine, which originally was an all white Coronet Convertible with a blue top and most likely a 326. Thanks for the info Ron. By the way, is yours a True D500, (I seem to recall it is)---but I don't brag anymore about my recall abilities! Gary | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Rebels-59 Coronet - 2010-12-07 1:04 PM Quote from Seller I do own 2 1958 Dodge convertibles and about 20 years ago I installed 59 quarterpanels on one of them. I could not make up my mind whether to restore the car as a 59 "clone" or redo it as a 58 but 2 months ago I dusted it off the car and got going on it again and I will do it as a 59 since I already have a 58. . $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Why not make that almost IMPOSSIBLE 58 Dodge ragtop into another 57 Chevy ? I could puke ! | ||

Location: Bjorneborg, Finland | This '59 was restored well-known Swedish restorer and Mopar repro parts producer, T.Fredriksson, in the '90s (I know he owns an outstanding '58 DeSoto Adventurer Conv.). The car was featured in Power Magazine (Swedish) 4/1997. The article says lot of effort was spent, because it had a D-500 (no mention if it was equipped so when new). He already had lot of NOS parts in stock. Most of the options listed what the car has now, "naturally" (that was the word they used) even power windows and seat.. and also can be mentioned swivel-seat.

Location: Parts Unknown | Yeah, but if you had two of them, you could cut one up and make a camper or something out of it !  The old car scene is "growing" (if you can call it that). Everyone has been bellyaching for years about these cars not getting recognition, and it was warned "be careful what you ask for ... ". Well, now we get to enjoy the fruits of such recognition, like cars being unaffordable to many hobbyists and a constant wrangling over ethics between those who probably would have preferred these remain $1000- cars and those who want to use them as a tool to get rich. I never wanted my car to be worth anything. Its "value" was in the "art" of rolling sculpture. I never worried about leaving it parked somewhere. People noticed, but no money was involved. Now I will be concerned about theft of theft of parts and the whole she-bang is no longer a care-free pleasure of just driving a neat old car. Imagine taking this Dodge and doing a cross-country road trip and leaving it parked on some dead-end mountain road while you go hike along the coast for a couple days. You'd come back to find it gone or missing parts. Pretty sad. My greatest joy with old cars like these was just seeing them going down the road, at the grocery store, at the movie theatre. Looks like that experience is becoming a thing of the past.  | ||

Expert Posts: 2244 Location: Yorba Linda, Ca | Hope not, Doc, but I suspects my 59 is the most driven 59 vert and maybe even the most driven 59 Dodge. It's been a good six years for me and the car. Too bad there aren't more like you, Doc, that don't like 59 Dodges then I would hafta worrry about somebody messing with it!!!!  Gary | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | I could not agree with you more, Jessica. However, there is more at play here than just that. Those who post all the "science" about what makes a verifiable factory-built car operate from a paradigm of "safety". Kinda like those people who keep Jesus in their back pocket, it is just a mentality of finding a "safe" place in an otherwise uncertain world. I do not fault anyone for being this way. In fact, I benefit GREATLY from the vast stores of knowledge put forth by these folks. So, in my mind, I win either way we look at it. But you are right, it is the job of no one but the buyer to research the product before getting the wallet out. It is the responsibility of no third party to own the actions of said buyer, no matter how much that third party may feel they are "doing good" by making the facts known. The buyer can take such advisement or leave it. And like you said, maybe money comes easier to some than a car like this and they would be perfectly happy driving it at 200K whether or not it left the factory in the present condition. That is the buyer's choice. They may find it a challenge to get that money back out of such a car when it comes time to sell, but maybe maybe that just isn't an issue for that buyer. They want the car they see and that's the end of their concern on the subject. Where we all lose is when these cars become so expensive - prices driven up by people for whom money is no object - that they vanish from accessibility for the common folk who just love them for the cars they are. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ? Well, a 59 Dodge ragtop on the open road is worth ten in a museum !  | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1060 Location: Building incorrect cars since 2000!! | So how is this guy pullin the wool on anyone? Did I read it wrong or did he not say a personal inspections are welcome and recomended. Now if I was spending 200k on a car I would be checking it out. but again it would not matter to me if it left that factory that way or not. It Awesome!!! I don't see anything wrong in how this is advertised. I was always told if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck | ||
| |||
| Doctor DeSoto |

Location: Parts Unknown | you both have a valid point .... and this where the wires get crossed ..... you both have different definitions of what defines "a duck". For the "safety" minded person, that duck is what rolled out of the factory and holds a paper pedigree. For others, "the duck" is what they see before them. No pedigree required. Recognizing there are different paradigms in operation on a single subject makes this situation easy to understand. Not easy to find any resolution between the two, but easy to understand.  | ||
